In philosophy, there was once a time of the death of God. Our own, Michel Onfray adds, is rather the time of his return. That is why today, according to the author, the urgent need for a documented, substantiated, unwavering, and militant atheism is presented.
The "Treatise on Atheology" not only achieved tremendous success, selling over 400,000 copies in its first year of publication in France alone, which brought it far ahead in the rankings of essays, but also provoked intense controversy in intellectual circles, and beyond, and became the occasion for the publication of dozens of articles as well as two books that fiercely oppose the views of the "philosopher artist".
